Can I say Campbell be a funny name because there is a food company called that. Ever heard of Campbell's Soup?
As it's a Scottish clan, Campbell is a very common name around here. It's even my daughter's teacher's name. It's strange to think that it might get laughs elsewhere in the world.
The person in charge of addiction services at my local health board is called Dr Cockayne (say it out loud if you don't get the joke, it's not about the first 4 letters). In my job, I had to invite her to meetings and always found the relationship between her name and job to be quite amusing.
I know a few people with the surname Smellie (also Scottish). They say it's pronounced 'Smiley'.
